How to Make Your UK Degree Recognised in Spain
Understanding the Declaration of Equivalence
Spain offers many opportunities, whether for work, research, or further studies. But if you come equipped with a UK degree, how do you ensure it holds value in Spain? Enter the 'Declaration of Equivalence'.
The Declaration of Equivalence is essentially Spain's way of saying, "We recognise the value of your foreign degree and consider it equivalent to a specific level of education here." This becomes particularly important when you're considering employment or further studies in Spain, especially within the public sector or specific private entities.
The Crucial First Step: The Apostille
Before you rush to get the Declaration of Equivalence, there's a first step: getting your degree 'legalised' with what's called an 'Apostille'. Think of the Apostille as a seal of authenticity. Originating from the Hague Convention, which many countries (including Spain and the UK) are part of, this seal verifies that your degree is genuine and trustworthy.
Why is this important? It's the Spanish government's way of ensuring that they're recognising documents that hold genuine value. By getting an Apostille, you're essentially vouching for the legitimacy of your degree.
